💬 Do you consider yourself a competitive person? 🏆 I’m not a very competitive person.

If you tell your parents or anyone else, she dies. Are you ready? When Crystal Donavan gets a message on a mysterious app with a video of her little sister gagged and bound, she agrees to play the kidnapper’s game. At first, they make her complete bizarre tasks: steal a test and stuff it in a locker, bake brownies, make a prank call. But then Crystal realizes each task is meant to hurt—and kill—her friends, one by one. But if she refuses to play, the kidnapper will kill her sister. Is someone trying to take her team out of the running for a gaming tournament?

💻 BOOKSTAGRAM TOUR + BOOK REVIEW! 💻 Thrilled to be taking part today in the @turnthepagetours #bookstagramtour for THESE DEADLY GAMES by @dianaurban! This incredible book releases next Tuesday, 1 Feb 2022, from @inkyardpress @wednesdaybooks [quick side note: you can get 25% off right now if you preorder through Barnes & Noble!]. I will put the synopsis in the comments, but let me just tell you that this is one YA thriller that you are definitely going to want to read. Now, I knew who the villain was pretty early on, but it really didn't even matter to me because the book was so propulsive that I couldn't stop reading. The crazy "games" and the diabolical plan were so intricate and well-thought-out, I was in awe of the planning Ms. Urban obviously had to do in setting this up. She thought of absolutely everything! I stayed up until 3am the second night of reading because I literally. Could. Not. Stop. I just had to get to the end! Now, admittedly the end wrapped up fairly tidily, but that's kind of to be expected, I think, and I'm okay with it. There's also a wee teaser that perhaps they could be a continuation of the story, and I am here for it! Basically, if you're a fan of YA thrillers, or any intricate thriller really, you should absolutely check out THESE DEADLY GAMES. Get your preorder on, or ask your library to order it!

These Deadly Games is a YA thriller from Diana Urban. "Crystal gets a message on an unusual app with a picture of her little sister bound and gagged. If she doesn't follow the sender's instructions, her sister will be killed. Crystal realizes quickly that the tasks are meant to hurt or injure her friends. But if she has to do them for her sister's sake. Is someone trying to take her gaming team out? Or has someone uncovered a secret from the past?" I was glad to see a YA thriller but I struggled early with this book. You really have to suspend belief that the adults in this story have no idea what's going on. If you can do that, you will probably enjoy this one. Great ending to this one though. It does feel like it's geared more to a YA reader. #thesedeadlygames #dianaurban #wednesdaybooks #ya #yathriller #yagaming #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller https://www.instagram.com/p/CZfF-nnPJ2S/?utm_medium=tumblr
